Activites at Kenwyn Care Home

Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Afternoon At Falmouth Art Gallery

Our recent trip to Falmouth Art Gallery was a truly inspiring experience. Residents were captivated by the variety of artistic styles and the different mediums used throughout the collection. There was something to spark everyone’s imagination.

Art has a unique way of bringing people together, encouraging conversation, and evoking cherished memories. It was a wonderful day filled with creativity, curiosity, and plenty of inspiration!

We welcomed the community and our residents' families for an insightful Menopause Awareness Event. Dr Johanneke led a thoughtful discussion, shedding light on an important topic in an open and engaging way.

Trip To The Garden Centre

Trip To The Garden Centre

Our trip to Chacewater Garden Centre was a great day out. Residents enjoyed a relaxed tea and coffee while browsing the plants and picking up compost for our gardening club.

There were plenty of discussions about what to plant next and plans taking shape for spring. A simple but enjoyable way to spend the day.

Our Dementia Café was alive with music, singing, and laughter! Residents and families enjoyed a joyful session with musician Melanie Garside, filling the room with dance and song.

The uplifting atmosphere sparked beautiful moments of connection, as familiar tunes brought back cherished memories. A huge thank you to Melanie and everyone who joined us—it was a truly special day!

Truro School Choir Visit

Truro School Choir Visit

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Truro School Choir into our home. Their stunning Christmas carols brought festive cheer and filled our home with joy.

The residents thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and it sparked wonderful conversations afterwards as they reminisced about their own school days and shared stories of college life.

A heartfelt thank you to the talented students and staff of Truro School for taking the time to visit us and spread such seasonal joy—it was a truly memorable day for everyone.

 Jumping Out!

Jumping Out!

This week, we were treated to a wonderful afternoon of music and fun with the awesome Jumping Out Duo! Their lively performance had our residents tapping their feet, clapping along, and singing to some familiar tunes. It was a joyful experience that brought everyone together, filling the room with smiles, laughter, and plenty of rhythm. A big thank you to Jumping Out Duo for brightening our day and creating such wonderful memories!

 
Dementia Talk

Dementia Talk

We were delighted to welcome National Dementia expert Leon Smith to Kenwyn. His engaging and informative talk created a relaxed space for families and the community to ask questions and gain practical advice, fostering a deeper understanding of dementia. Attendees appreciated Leon’s approachable style, which made complex topics easier to grasp, and many left feeling more confident about supporting loved ones living with dementia.

Students bridge The Generations

Students bridge The Generations

This week, we welcomed students from the Citizenship for Life programme to Kenwyn. The 13 and 14 year old students from three schools across Cornwall spent time learning about later life and the important role of care workers while chatting with our residents and sharing stories.
It was a wonderful opportunity for our residents to connect with the younger generation and for the students to gain valuable insights into the care and support we provide.
